My experience with Dr. Rhee has been amazing. She took the time to talk to me and listen to my concerns patiently and compassionately. She gives her patients her undivided attention and explained my treatment thoroughly. I never felt rushed in her presence. She is extremely knowledgeable and accessible. I think the other negative reviewers must have a different doctor in mind or maybe they were possibly written by another physician threatened by her skill and success?

i just can't imagine the negative comments being true. i've seen dr. rhee for years. dr. rhee is efficient and professional, thorough and conscientious. during my first visit, she took her time to explain everything to me and reassured me about both problems i had with my eyes. and she was right; i haven't had that particular problem since. but if i did, i would know exactly what to do to limit the duration and extent. the staff was average but i didn't spend anytime with them because... i had no wait!

Horrible demeanor and lazy. She was complaining to her colleagues that she had to leave and did not have time to see more patients. Her visit with me was very rushed.

Stay away at all costs. When I was waiting to be seen, all I heard was her screaming at her assistants and refusing to come in and see me. Lazy and arrogant.

What a superficial, horrible doctor. Stay away from her office, she has no patience, no warmth, no empathy, horrible bedside manner.
